Excel is the one good piece of software in MS Office.

Last time I used MS Office was 10 months ago, and it had a bunch of annoying “features” related to sharing, etc. But PowerPoint has always had some great authoring tools. Sometimes if I was writing an article in LaTeX, I’d still do the figures in PowerPoint.

Of course we’ll still keep the body transportation charges, and tack on a convenience fee. THINK OF THE SHAREHOLDERS!!!

The problem with using pureé’d people is the transportation cost. C’mon now, think of the shareholders.
